Boy does time fly! A whole month has rolled on by. Where was I when it happened?!
Well, nothing eventful has been going on, just work. =) Through it and "interesting" work scheduling, the Lord has been very faithful in getting me through the days with His touches of grace and love for me. I am so thankful to Him. =) He's been teaching me to continue to trust Him and learn to be more thankful for the days at work that go well, days of fun with friends and family and to just be content. I tend to look on the "dark side" of things when they haven't gone the way I expected and I forget all the things the Lord has blessed me with. I forget to thank Him for the two jobs I have. Not everyone can say they have two jobs and a potential full time job in the works. =) I have been blessed in this way and with family to remind me of the good things that have happened. I am blessed with more than sufficient funds for my needs, I am able to go to church on Sundays, I have time to read God's word, paint, listen to music and read by our pool. These things I need to remember daily. At night before I slept, I used to think through the day and thank the Lord for the good things that happened. This I know needs to begin again. Through all of the daily trials, thankfully the Lord has been teaching me to remember Him, His love, and blessings. =)
Another thing I can thank the Lord for is that I've been able to be a witness for Him. A big answer to prayer! My boss and his wife Diana are very much seeking and desire Christ. I think they are so close to becoming His children. =) I've been able to pray with Diana to encouraging her and lift her heart up when she's sad. She feels that she needs to change and that even though she has a very blessed life, she's missing something. I pray that she will see that Christ is what will give her the joy and peace she's looking for. The Lord has truly blessed her and her family in many ways compared to others! It's amazing to see how all of those blessings have been placed together for this moment in their lives. They both ask many questions, and I pray the Lord can give me His answers. Hehe, I also thank the Lord for Mike and Jessie Johnson, who live in the same apartment building as my boss. They also have been sharing Christ with them and regularly visit. I pray that Mike can answer questions in a better way than I might be able to.=) But, the Lord will use all of us and my boss and his family will be saved!
In other events, I give a great shout for the 4th of July coming up! I am so excited as I love a good time to hang out and celebrate things, whether birthdays or holidays. Anyone who knows me knows I am pretty much like a kid in a candy store when it comes to holiday celebrations, especially the 4th, Christmas and Thanksgiving. I'm so glad I'll be able to spend time with Katie, Alley, and Bethany! There will be another post on the weekend festivities. It might even include pictures! =D Stay tuned!
